Local thrift store is moving down the street

Mercyhealth’s Castaways Thrift Shop will move north on Milton Avenue to the former Payless ShoeSource building this summer.

Plans to sell the thrift store’s existing building, 922 Milton Avenue are currently underway.

The current location will remain in business until the new store opens.

Mercyhealth officials say the healthcare system has been looking for a new spot for Castaways for a couple of years because the thrift store has outgrown its current space.

The new thrift store will reopen with a new name that has yet to be determined.

Mercyhealth volunteers have operated Castaways since 1982.
